New to PiMP : Unable to Boot - GA-H55M-UD2H - PiMP 2.4.2-all

[stargazer7]

I am trying to build my first PiMP system, It is a older GA-H55M-UD2H from Gigabyte. I have reviewed the motherboards website, and it looks like it doesn't have UEFI support.

From what I can tell, it looks like that may be the issue, but I don't see a good workaround.

There is no problem. Need a board with UEFI. But you can try older versions of the PiMP. 2.1 for amd, 2.3.30 for nvidia.
